Wolves looked well rested and hungry tonight. Good start.

How bad can Rudy be? Why they ever pass the ball to him except for a dunk is beyond my understanding.

That was a bad pass from Ant. Bad hands but still OK in other situations that we don't do much.

Gobert has been active on the floor. Wolves shooting 50% and 50% from 3s but still looked like they could had gotten a few more baskets. So, all good signs so far

A passing Randle is a good Randle. This is the Randle that works with this team. A lot better than the last few games

Good effort so far. Good defense, shooting and ball movement. Love when the team is focus.

Gobert is useless in the roll. Past few games everyone just cheats the screen every time. There's no consequence.

There you go Rudy. Monster offensive rebound!!! That's what we need you for. Do that 10 more times tonight. Forget about being an offensive star.

That putback is one of the intangibles of Ant's game that had been lacking. Guy is so damn athletic.. need the defense, rebounding as well..

So far 8 for 9, 5 ORB, 4st, 1bk, 17 pts, 12 rb total so far. I don't think it's reasonable to expect this every night. Just half the time would net him the MVP + DPOY.

Yep. Wouldn't that be great. He SHOULD do it most every night.

This team is so schizophrenic. Who knows what team will show up on any given night?

The ball movement is great tonight. It should be every night but it isn't.

I don't understand why Finch kept the starters in until the end. That is just garbage time for Ant to be selfish and build on bad habits.

In no world in 17 and 12 an MVP. He played at what he should. Especially considering what we gave up.
